Projecting signs, more often called blade or lightboxes, mount perpendicular to the wall and face foot traffic directly — the most visible sign placement a shopfront can have. We fabricate custom projecting signs and lightboxes in stainless steel, acrylic, or a combination of both, lit from within or non-lit depending on what the space calls for. Share your logo and storefront details and we'll recommend the right shape, material, and finish for your space.

What is a projecting sign?

Projecting signs — also known as blade signs or lightboxes — are mounted on a bracket and extend perpendicular from the wall, so they face pedestrians and passing traffic rather than sitting flat against the facade. They're one of the most effective sign placements for street-level visibility, particularly on busy retail strips where a wall-mounted sign can get lost in the noise. We build them lit or non-lit, in round, square, or fully custom shapes — whatever suits the building and the brand.

White square projecting blade sign mounted on a grey exterior wall corner, featuring a red illustrated character on the front face, a small red heart motif on the side, and the 'crunch' wordmark in small red lowercase type along the bottom — photographed against a blue sky.
Lit from within

Internal LED illumination makes a projecting sign visible day and night — light shines through the acrylic face or a cut-through logo for a clean, even glow. We use the same LED modules as our backlit and frontlit signs, rated for 50,000+ hours.

Square flat blade sign with a brushed steel frame mounted on a raw concrete exterior wall, featuring a bold black geometric logo and small text reading 'Martín Gómez / Oficina de Arquitectura' on a white face — casting a sharp diagonal shadow in direct sunlight.
Non-lit, still impossible to miss

Not every projecting sign needs to be illuminated — a stainless steel blade sign mounted at eye level on a bracket does its job in daylight without any wiring. Finished in any of our metal finishes or painted to your Pantone color.

Stainless steel frame with acrylic face, full acrylic, or full stainless steel — custom to your brief

Price Range

Minimal Mae retail reception with small dark dimensional letters in a clean sans-serif typeface mounted on a white wall, above a white solid surface desk with warm timber surround — herringbone timber flooring, open shelving with product, and soft track lighting above.
Retail storefronts

Visible from both directions on a busy street, not just head-on — the most effective placement for high foot traffic locations.

Aura Pilates & Wellness studio reception featuring polished gold dimensional metal letters in a bold serif typeface with smaller subtitle text below, mounted on a white plaster wall beside a curved archway opening to the reformer studio — a rattan reception desk and dried floral arrangement to the left.
Multi-tenant buildings

When a business doesn't have a dedicated shopfront, a projecting sign is often the only way to claim visible street presence.

Illuminated projecting lightbox sign for Caffè Doppio mounted on a Haussmann-style stone building facade, featuring the 'doppio' wordmark in a rounded sans-serif typeface printed twice — once upright and once inverted as a mirror reflection — glowing warm white against an ornate Parisian streetscape.
Retail, cafes & restaurants

A lit lightbox above the entrance sets the tone at night and draws people in from a distance.

Levain Cafe & Bakehaus exterior featuring large black dimensional letters in a mixed serif-rounded typeface mounted on a concrete facade above a glass shopfront — window graphics display opening hours and contact details alongside a illustrated baker character, with timber stools and a coffee bar visible inside.
Wellness & beauty studios

A round or rectangle lit lightbox has become a signature look for considered, design-led wellness spaces.

FAQ

FAQ

Everything you're probably wondering about projecting signs and lightboxes — shapes, illumination, installation, and pricing.

What's the difference between a projecting sign and a blade sign?

They're the same thing — "projecting sign," "blade sign," and "lightbox" all describe signs mounted on a bracket that extend perpendicular from the wall. The terms are used interchangeably depending on whether the sign is lit or non-lit.

What if I don't know what type of sign I need?

That's where we start. Share your logo, a photo of your storefront, and a rough idea of your budget — we'll recommend the right sign type, shape, material, and finish for your space. Most clients come to us with a logo and a blank wall, not a finished brief.

How much does a custom projecting sign cost?

Most projecting signs start around $400 and go up depending on size, shape, materials, and whether the sign is illuminated. We'll send a full quote once we've seen your brief.

Can projecting signs be fully custom shaped?

Yes — all our signs are custom built. Round and square are the most common, but we regularly fabricate signs in fully custom shapes to suit the brand and building.

Do I need a professional installer for a projecting sign?

Lit projecting signs require a licensed electrician for final wiring. Non-lit signs can usually be mounted by a general contractor or handyman. We provide full mounting specs with every order, and can coordinate installation directly if needed.
